Taking place annually in downtown Myrtle Beach, The Native Sons Salt Games is an action packed experience celebrating the "beach life" located on the boardwalk between 8th and 9th avenue north. In 2016, the Salt Games had over 500 registered competitors and 3,000 spectators from all over the world attending for a chance to win cash and prizes by participating in events locals get to experience everyday.

The Salt Games is a two day beach festival featuring an array of exciting beach events including a Lifeguard Competition, Kid's Run, Paddleboard Race, Beach Yoga, Crossfit Competition, Pro 2 Man Volleyball Tournament, Bikini Contest, Surfing Competition and much more!

During the event, sponsors and partners located around festival grounds offer giveaways and live entertainment.

Yearly, the Salt Games works with the Grand Strand chapter of the Surfrider Foundation to spread their mission of protecting and enjoying oceans, waves and beaches. A portion of all Salt Games proceeds are donated to the Surfrider Foundation to help fulfill those goals.
